What do you think of my 2.3T project

[My Black Beast]

I have never posted pics so hopefully it will work. Here is the pics of the outside. Not sure if I will keep the stripes when I eventually get a new paint job. I what to make it look more like a Saleen. The rims are pretty rusted even though the pic doesn't look to bad. I will probably put the snowflakes from the turbocoupe on. I got a busted headlight thanks to my best friend backing into me. I will post the engine pics. Still working on the car though.

Oh yeah, how do you like my make shift garage. Man I really need a real garage.

Corner pic you can see my "Black Beast". Here is a front pic and engine pic. I think the front looks pretty mean though. You can also see my daily driver in the background.

I have put on the AC compressor since this pic. I got my fuel lines to finally fit after a couple hours of pulling and unbolting. I still have to put on my powersteering pump, wiring, and tranny (which is still need), etc.

Keep the stripes I have a blue 93 that I am going to put those on when I am done. Get some 10 holes for it though. Is it going to get a turbo swap?

 

[My Black Beast]

That actually is the turbo motor. I don't have the IC on there right now. I am using the turbocoupe one until I can get pipes made and radiator for my Volvo IC.

I took nearly every part off the engine and painted it.

My bad where is the turbo at? I see something on the left and thought that you were taking off the MAS to make a CAI.

If you right click on the link and then use the picture insert icon the pic can be viewed.

I don't have the vam hooked up and its kinda below the AC hoses and stuff.

Looks nice, are you going to keep in on that E-6 or throw a header on it ? I have a Bob's Log on my engine stand queen.

TEEH HEEE HEE! those rims look like they need to be on a impala!

 

[My Black Beast]

That engine's been an engine stand queen for about 5 months now. I ran out of time to work on it do to this whole girlfriend/relationship thing; but now that's over, so I'm back to whats important. Hehe

I will be using the E6 for quite awhile. I want to get it all working then put on the front mount IC, pulleys, port and gut the upper and lower intake (not sure though, heard a lot of bad stuff with that), upgrade exaust (going to be using turbocoupe for now, if it fits), upgrade turbo, and of course the disk brakes. After some of that I really want to work on the suspension. Unlike my 5.0, I want this one to go through the twisties.

Oh yeah, and about those rims, I bought those about seven years ago when I was into hoopdy (sp) rides. Now a days, Impalas can't ride on no less than 20's if you got chrome.

As for rims I am thinking either '03 Cobras or Cobra R's painted white. Watcha think? I want to kinda go for that road race look.

ya, ive seen them on ebay, the 5 spoke cobra's powdercoated white...very clean. I was thinking about doing the same thing, but ill probly end up going chrome for the bling apeal.
